Yes, you have free will to go against nature. But nature is still there.

I really can't believe you're even arguing this.

Not me!

It's just the way things fit! I guess the discussion has to switch to PM.

No, I didn't struggle with whether or not I should go. I was certain I should go and the decision was easy.

Whatever. Really have to go get some sleep now.

I struggle with the un-natural part too. I don't struggle with the sin. I know it is wrong, but mainly because of what I have been taught has become my conviction on the matter. Having said that I know that God has set things in order, this included. What i mean is that for someone to know or not know what is the "norm" is subjective at best.

Really have to get some sleep. See y'all tomorrow.

I get ya and I agree with ya. My point was that using a blanket statement that everyone will know what the "norm" is automatically I have a tough time believing.
